The Rainbow connection

有關彩虹的歌曲有好多: Over the rainbow(Judy Garlan), 彩虹(紀曉君 , 龍哥)是最被傳唱的....找到了1979年的一首歌曲,近來被Sarah McLachlan 重唱放進專輯裡..
但是, 79年的版本卻是芝麻街的Kermit青蛙唱的呢!!!
無論如何,彩虹對孩子而言是天空一道美麗的七彩,對大孩子的我則是一個遙遠的夢想

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

找到了Sarah Mclachlan版

還有令人驚豔的Jason Mraz版
